The 17th at the Faldo Legacy Course: High drama for Dominican Republic golf vacations.
Upon visiting the Punta Cana area on a Dominican Republic golf vacation last winter, we came back predicting that it, “is poised to become the golf mecca of the Caribbean,” mainly on the strength of its beaches, fine hotels, and existing and future golf courses led by Jack Nicklaus’ Punta Espada.
